That’s same as I worked outIt’s 12 tonne per hectare I think and 1 tonne of cattle fym contains 6kg of nitrogen according to rb209. So that 72kg of nitrogen per hectare.
Does anyone know what the equivalent rates of 12kg/ha of FYM actually correlates to in fertiliser terms? The guidance for LIG1/2 is of no help at all as it just says equivalent amounts of available nutrients as fertiliser.

For SFI purposes though, do you not think the way it is worded would mean the simper calculation will suffice? I would suggest keeping a copy of the calculation as well to justify the figure.FYM in RB209 is total nitrogen 6 kg per tonne which is 72kg but the availability of Nitrogen that Nitrogen in FYM is only around 10 - 20% depending on time of year of explanation - as explained in RB209. So I would suggest might as a direct equivalent of Ammonium Nitrate or Urea Nitrogen fertiliser the 12 tonnes hectare FYM is equal to around 7 - 10 kg Nitrogen. Ask a FACTS adviser. Cheers.
